Pakistan’s newly named ODI Captain Babar Azam slammed former cricketer Tanvir Ahmed on Monday (May 18) for suggesting that Babar should improve his English speaking skills.
A majority of Pakistan cricketers were criticized and rolled over on social media for their poor English speaking skills during their post-match press conferences such as former skippers, Inzamam Ul-Haq and Sarfraz Ahmed. Ahmed wrote a Youtube video urging Babar to learn English and to develop his overall personality.
“Babar Azam also needs to improve his English, which is essential. When someone is a captain, he has to talk at the time of toss and post-match presentation. He also gives interviews on different channels when he travels to different countries,” said Tanvir.
The 41-year-old Tanvir, who played for Pakistan in 5 Tests, 2 ODIs and 1 T20I, has faced flak on social media for making an external reference to Babar.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Babar said “We know better than other teams that over the past ten years, we have been playing most of our cricket in Dubai without a crowd. This isn’t a big feeling for the fans, nor it is great for us,” he concluded.
